Even Satirists Get The Blues:
Joke Bounty On Bush's Head Invokes US Intervention

Norwegian rap and satire trio "Gatas Parliament" recently had one of their websites shut down.

KillHim.nu (Kill Him Now) had featured a spoof advert calling for the raising of funds for a bounty on the head of alleged US President George W Bush. Now, however, it only displays the fax from the Oslo police vice squad, ordering the shut-down of the site.

In their first interview on the subject with English speaking media, trio member Don Martin talks to ThoughtCrimeNews about their recent experience with Norwegian justice.
